My journey as an artist has been a vigorous interrogation of

form. I have a background in literature, in translation and in

classical dance. Now I gather shapes from the world aroundme,

from travel, and frommy journeys through books. I also look

inside myself for forms and I translate those into bodies of clay.

My work expresses my engagement with the materials

themselves. I have mostly learnt to know myself as a ceramic

artist from my mistakes. I want my ceramic work to enter into

the lives of its viewers, emerging, resurfacing, and turning them

away from habits of perception. And I want the work to be

convincing to me.
